| How to uninstall Docker Compose | compose, orchestration, uninstall, uninstallation, docker, documentation | Uninstall Docker Compose | Uninstall |
How you uninstall Docker Compose depends on how it was installed. This guide covers uninstallation instructions for:
- Docker Compose installed via Docker Desktop
- Docker Compose installed as a CLI plugin
Uninstalling Docker Compose with Docker Desktop
If you want to uninstall Docker Compose and you have installed Docker Desktop, see Uninstall Docker Desktop.
Warning
Unless you have other Docker instances installed on that specific environment, uninstalling Docker Desktop removes all Docker components, including Docker Engine, Docker CLI, and Docker Compose.
Uninstalling the Docker Compose CLI plugin
If you installed Docker Compose via a package manager, run:
On Ubuntu or Debian:
$ sudo apt-get remove docker-compose-plugin
On RPM-based distributions:
$ sudo yum remove docker-compose-plugin
Manually installed
If you installed Docker Compose manually (using curl), remove it by deleting the binary:
$ rm $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
Remove for all users
If installed for all users, remove it from the system directory:
$ rm /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins/docker-compose
Note
If you get a Permission denied error using either of the previous methods, you do not have the permissions needed to remove Docker Compose. To force the removal, prepend
sudoto either of the previous instructions and run it again.
Inspect the location of the Compose CLI plugin
To check where Compose is installed, use:
$ docker info --format '{{range .ClientInfo.Plugins}}{{if eq .Name "compose"}}{{.Path}}{{end}}{{end}}'
